Losing weight during the holidays is a challenge but If you are up to the challenge then I have got you covered. Here is a list of the 3 tips, have a clear weight loss goal, have a clear plan and plan for Holiday cheat meals. Have a clear weight loss goal. Do you know exactly what your fitness goal is? Because a lot of people don’t. As a personal trainer, I have noticed that most people have an incredibly vague fitness goal. If your goal is unclear, then your path towards that goal will be unclear. You need a clear and concise fitness goal. Let’s say you want to lose weight. You will need to ask yourself “How much weight do I want to lose?” and you must follow that up with an awfully specific number. If you need help deciding how much weight you need to lose then I would recommend reaching out to a personal trainer or nutritionist. Let us say of the sake of this discussion that you have decided that you want to lose 20lbs. Once you have made that decision you need to come up with an exact day that you would like to see that weight come off your body. You might say that you want to lose 20 lbs. in 4 months and even go as far as picking the exact day that your weight will off your body. Get a Clear plan for your goal Now that you have a goal you will need to also find a clear plan for you to achieve your goal. So, if your goal is to lose weight then you will need a weight loss plan. Start off by looking for nutritionists that can help you achieve your goal in the next 4 months. Once you found the right plan you will need to consider what obstacles might get in the way of your goal. This article is to help you lose weight during the Holidays. Losing weight during the holidays is tricky because people tend to either never start a diet this time of the year or just a simple fall of track. Falling off track happens so easily this time of the year. I mean, there are all these temptations, but I have a solution for that. Plan for Holiday Cheat Meals One of the best parts of the holiday season Is getting to enjoy food and drinks with your loved ones. I am all for that! However, the question for a lot of people is how do I enjoy food and drink during the holidays while staying on track with my weight loss goal? Well, the answer might easier than you would think. If you think about the holiday season can be broken down into 5 major special holidays These are those holidays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. I know that there are a variety of different cultures and religious practices that also celebrate different holidays, but I think the days generally fall around the same time of year. So, for simplicity purposes let’s just cluster all the holidays together. We have about 5 different holiday days. And most of them revolve around a specific day of the year every year. So, my recommendation is that you plan to have a cheat meal on that day. Having a cheat meal on the isn’t what’s stopping your form losing weight during the holidays. What you are eating leading up to that holiday is what really matters. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/totalbodytraining/support

Will Group Fitness classes in San Antonio be a thing of the Past? Gyms closures in Texas due to Covid-19 Covid-19 has changed the world. Many of us are trying to stay safe in these uncertain times. Unfortunately, the US Economy has been affected drastically. Several businesses and industries are going under. The fitness industry and specifically group fitness classes in San Antonio Texas seem to be disappearing. Some have speculated that Gyms Could be going extinct. So, In this article I explain why I believe that’s will not go extinct. The article will be separated into 3 points, what is happening, what will happen, and why gyms will make a comeback. This article will also include my thoughts about the future group Fitness Classes in San Antonio Texas. What is happening? If you recall, back at the start of the Coronavirus business that was considered unessential were asked to shut down until further notice. In the state of Texas, gyms ended up staying closed for over 2 months. This led to various gyms, yoga studios, and places that offer group fitness classes in San Antonio having to go under and close for good. In the meantime, a lot of people went out and bought fitness equipment so they could work out from home. Many people started subscribing to online workout platforms such as peloton or body pump so that they could workout from home. Celebrities such as Chris Even began posting free at-home workouts and many wondered why they had not just worked from home sooner. What Will Happen? While I think it is great that so many people started working out from home, I also believe the novelty is wearing off. In the beginning, there was this #weareinthistogether mentality that people had about working out from home. Many people had nothing to do at home, so they started a new workout routine. However, I don’t think that lasted very long. For example, I offered online group fitness classes in San Antonio. At first, the classes were booming. I had new and old clients reaching to me to start working out from home, they wondered why they hadn’t tried online workout classes sooner. However, most of these clients lost interest in working out online once we re-opened in May because that point the novelty had worn off. Why Gyms Will make a Comeback. I have seen a lot of new articles discuss whether or not gyms are going to be able to bounce back from this bad economic situation. Some have pointed out that online training and home fitness equipment has become extremely profitable. However, there are several reasons why people go to the gym. At the top of that list is the need for people to get away from their homes. I teach group fitness classes in San Antonio Texas and my clients always tell me how much they enjoy getting away from home. Many of them even tell me that they know they could work out at home but they don’t poses the willpower to do workouts at home. They tell me they don’t enjoy doing workout videos and that they will frequently just drop what their workouts because they are bored. Most of us, and Include me in this, need a place to work out and get away from everyday life. The gym serves as that place. Studios that offer Group fitness in classes in San Antonio are a place that people go to socialize with others. I believe that this will never go out of style. Sure, some people are going to stick with online training but the majority will go back to their old training habits.

What is the Best Pre-workout?  There are many different kinds of pre-workouts on the market. That is both a good and bad thing. It's great to have options but the problem is that many of these options are extremely unhealthy. If you have been working out for a while then chance are you have seen the various pre-workouts brands that come and go. Some of those brands got pulled off the market because they had certain substances that were causing people to have health issues. Part of the problem is that the supplement industry is entirely unregulated. The FDA does not have to approve or test the validity of a supplement and this is a problem. You see, essentially supplement companies can put whatever they want into a supplement and they can then lie about what is actually in it. This is a problem because you could accidentally take something that is harmful to your body. So, in this episode of the podcast I talk about Ascent Pre-workout and why I think its a brand that you can trust.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/totalbodytraining/support

The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. - Rollo May  In this episode of the Total Body Training Podcast. Jean Carlos talks about how most people are trying to hit their fitness goals but they don't because they conform to what society wants them to do. If you had to be perfectly honest with yourself, most of your friends and family see you the way you are right now at this very moment. They do not know the type of person you would like to become nor do they necessarily see the person you can become. So, If your goal is to radically change your mind and body then it will take them by surprise. You see, your friends and family want you as you are. They love you for the ways they have experienced you and the times they have shared with the current version of you.  That being said, if they see you trying to do something new and different they might fain support but in reality, they will want you to stay as you are. They will want you to conform back to the person they have always known you as. So, that is why I think this quote is so powerful. If you want to become the best version of yourself then chance are you are going to have to push our natural inclination to conform to our surroundings. To conform to what your immediate friends and family want you to be.  If you would like to learn more about Total Body Training you can check out the Total Body Training YouTube Channel.

In this interview, we talk about Cuddle therapy.  Janet Trevino explains why people need touch. She explains that healing touch is an essential need that all people have and should embrace. Janet and other Cuddle Therapists are here to help us learn more about the importance of physical intimacy. Janet Trevino does a great job of explaining everything about the process of cuddle therapy and All you have to do is listen to her explain her belief about healing touch. One thing that really stuck out to me about this interview was the part where she talked about how some cultures value intimacy more than others.
